ABOUT THE TALMUD
The Talmud (or Gemara) is the supreme source-book of all Jewish Law and tradition. More than just a legal text, it is also a wellspring of ethical principles, and ultimately a guidebook to life.
Its rigorous study has inspired masses of people throughout the ages. In every historical period and geographical location, students of the Talmud have devoted hours upon hours, weeks upon weeks, years upon years, to the study of the its principles.
Given this rich history, the introduction of the iTalmud is a truly significant event.
Never before has the entire Talmud been made available for portable use in it’s original form.
Never have the classical commentaries of both Rashi and Tosafos been available on a portable, electronic device.
Never before has the entirety of the Talmud been made accessible anytime, anywhere.
Until now.

Customer Reviews
Impressive!
Very good job on the app, the user interface is nice, zooming works well for me. For the first version, this app is really really nice.
Great to have another frum developer in the app store. Plus, we appreciate how much you helped us with recommendations on the rustybrick apps, like the Siddur.
Some suggestions would be to integrate a link to the edaf.com audio files for each daf, would be great for daf yomi folks.
Great job!
Fantastic
Best 20 dollars I probably ever spent.
Excellent Start
This release actually exceeded my expectation for a first release. Yes there are areas that can use improvement as can be seen in other reviews, and on the user forum for iTalmud on Google Groups, I am sure that most of the items will be fixed in subsequent releases. Kudos to the developer for a polished quality app that makes learning Gemara a pleasure on the iPhone.
